One of the outpatient treatment alternatives for individuals in New Boston struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed centers and doctors are authorized to dispense specific meds to opioid addicted clients, many that are opioids also and are addictive. With low amounts the individual does not experience high feelings and also does not have acute cravings and is not in opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med administered for this reason, but there are alternative options to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an out-patient medical center licensed to dispense the med, which is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about one hundred and fifty dolloars a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken one day on, one day off. But different from Methadone which can only be given in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 per month for the generic of the medication. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains naloxone, which is a med that reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken daily, and costs about $450 per month. Naltrexone is an additional drug taken in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned it's an opiate blocker and isn't an opiate. There is an option to take this medication as a monthly injection, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 a month.
